DUBLIN, January 15, 2026 — The Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) in Ireland has remained static, with the latest data showing that the rate stands at 2.7% for December 2025. This figure mirrors the measurement recorded in the previous month, November 2025. According to the data updated on January 15, 2026, the year-over-year comprehensive analysis highlights stability in the country's inflation over the past month.
The persistence of the HICP at 2.7% suggests that the inflationary forces affecting consumer prices in Ireland have not intensified as the year concluded. This consistency continues to reflect the same inflation level recorded for the same month in the previous year, December 2024, indicating no significant economic shocks or changes during this period.
Economists and policymakers will likely view the stability of the HICP positively, as it suggests a balanced economic scenario in the short term. With inflation showing no signs of sudden shifts, this steadiness may offer a predictability that is beneficial for both consumers and businesses planning their economic strategies for 2026.
